about

My eldest daughter and I wrote the lyrics for this track. I had the guitar riff, and she said it was kinda sad, we took it from there...

lyrics

As we said our last goodbyes the skies turned to grey
driving home through clouded tears surrender to heartbreak
but I know that you left behind, pieces of you that I've yet to find
All things yeah I find in time, yeah I know

As I walk through empty rooms stare at the floor
I hear you climb the steps, walk right through my door
But I know it's not you I hear, even though I still feel you near,
There'll be a day when there's no more tears yeah I know

From above I see your eyes, shining down on me
even though I'm left behind, it's only a matter of time
This I truly believe,
That you and I will hold each other again

Everyday I look at you, I see your smiling face
Framed on the wall in my favourite place
holding onto memories of the day we met, as I breathe my last breath
Now I know that I'm on my way, there's no fear, no, I'm not afraid
I turn around and I see you face, now I know

From above I see your eyes, shining down on me
even though I'm left behind, it's only a matter of time
This I truly believe,
That you and I will hold each other again
